The Winery
Kapcsandy Winery
Lou and Bobbie Kapcsandy’s journey toward winery ownership began in France at a very long lunch with the owners of Leoville Las Cases. It was only fitting that when they began their adventure they employed Denis Malbec as their winemaker. Malbec spent his childhood in the cellar at Chateau Latour with his father, and was winemaker there until 1999. His French education shows in his wines which are beautifully integrated, balanced, and display wonderful purity of fruit. All their wines are built to age and ready to be in your cellar.
Tasting Notes
- V96
- The 2006 Chardonnay The Judge is the first wine in this tasting that approaches full maturity. Honey, hazelnuts, dried flowers, sage, orange peel and spices meld together in the glass.
- WA92–95
- Another impressive 2011 full of potential, the Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Vin is impeccable in its balance and overall sense of harmony. Violets, dark berries and chocolate wrap around the layered, sensual finish. This is far from an easygoing 2011. It will be interesting to see if the 2011 softens and/or fleshes out over time. The 2011 is 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2031.
